NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 23 Reporter Scout: Who is this guy?

Wang Chong and Wade, two of Marquette University's strongest defensive players, double-teamed Anthony. The power is self-evident.

Wade, who quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, used his signature trick of "Mesmerizing Step" under the defense of the opponent's defender. He took two big steps to the left and right, making it impossible for the opponent to judge Wade's exact move. Along the way, his reaction was half a beat slow, and then he could only watch Wade raise his hand to lift the basketball and send it into the basket.

Anthony did not look at Wade, who had successfully scored, but looked at Wang Chong and asked coldly: "If you can't beat him, then call for help? Is this what you do?"

Wang Chong shrugged and said indifferently: "Which NBA star didn't score while being double-teamed? If you can't handle this little battle, how can you be successful in the NBA in the future?"

There is nothing wrong with what Wang Chong said. Basketball is, after all, a game for five people. It is completely stupid to act recklessly regardless of whether one plays alone in the game.

When you should take action, you should never be soft and flinch, but when you shouldn't take action, you should never be carried away by anger and lose your mind and act impulsively.

James always passes the ball to his teammates at critical moments, so he is criticized for being unable to play key balls and having poor mental attributes.

Kobe, on the other hand, still went his own way when being double-teamed by four or five people. I didn't care, I just had to shoot, and then he ruined many games that should have been won because of his crazy shots.

Which one does Anthony belong to? Wang Chong is not sure, but I think Anthony, who is only in his early 20s, should be more inclined to Kobe, especially in a team like Syracuse University where he relies on as the absolute core ace.

"Really? Then I'll show you how a star should play!"

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Chong's words, Anthony sneered and was completely fooled.

In the next round, Syracuse University attacked, and Anthony continued to focus on holding the ball in singles against Wang Chong, but this time he kept an eye on it. When he saw Wade moving in his direction, he immediately chose to turn over and shoot a jumper, not allowing Wang Chong and Wade Opportunities for double-teaming.

Unfortunately, under Wang Chong's full defensive interference, his hasty turnaround jumper missed.

Marquette University protected the defensive rebound and handed it over to Wade to advance the fast break. After attracting the opponent's defensive attention, a fancy behind-the-back pass accurately passed the ball to Wang Chong.

Wang Chong raised his hand to shoot from a distance of 22 feet from the basket.

"Shh-!"

Another shot!

Syracuse called timeout.

In just a few rounds, the score between the two teams was widened, and Syracuse University is currently 10 points behind.

In the NCAA competition, a 10-point difference is already a big gap, so the Syracuse University coach cannot let the situation continue to be passive like this.

Seeing Anthony walking down the field with a sullen face, the coach couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Anthony's previous basketball career was too smooth. From high school to college, he almost never encountered any decent opponents. Maybe his battle with James in high school was the first opponent he encountered.

Now that Wang Chong appears out of nowhere and is constantly being targeted and frustrated, it is inevitable that his mentality will be unbalanced.

But he also knows that Anthony is a very good player, not only has comprehensive skills and strong body, but also has a good mentality that a professional player should have. Even if he is irritated, he can quickly adjust.

"Cameron, calm down. You are now trapped in a strange circle. You have to compete with that Asian, but there is no need. You are a superstar that everyone is eyeing, a star destined to land in the NBA. What you need to do now It’s about leading the team to win games and letting NBA scouts see more of your strengths rather than your weaknesses.”

The Syracuse University coach's words made Anthony calm down a little.

<divclass="contentadv">Indeed, for him who takes the NBA as his ultimate goal, winning the game is far more important than defeating that annoying guy.

"I understand coach, what should I do?"

Anthony asked.

"Very good." Seeing Anthony calm down, the coach smiled with satisfaction, and then spoke faster and said: "The opponent is obviously trying to defend you, and they will not hesitate to use the risky double-team tactic."

"Both Wade and the Asian are weak in defensive ability. With your current strength, it is difficult to break through their double-teams, so what you have to do is when Wade comes to double-team you, pass the ball out and trust your teammate!"

Although the other players at Syracuse University are basically not eligible to participate in the NBA draft, their abilities are not bad and they are completely trustworthy teammates.

In fact, in the original finals, when facing the University of Kansas, Anthony did not perform well. He relied on the help of his teammates to survive the most difficult period, and then gradually regained his touch until the end of the game. At that time, I just scored 20 points.

Anthony nodded and said: "Okay coach, I understand!"

After a short pause, the players from both teams reappeared.

Anthony continued to hold the ball in singles against Wang Chong. When Wade began to move in his direction and got closer, Anthony immediately threw the ball out of the perimeter. His teammate who was already in the open shot the ball directly from outside the three-point line.

Wang Chong and Wade couldn't help but look at each other.

"It seems that you still have to carry it yourself from now on."

Wade said softly to Wang Chong.

"It doesn't matter, let's see how I hold him down." Wang Chong was not discouraged.

In the third quarter of the game, both teams maintained a high offensive efficiency, and the game was intractable for a time. When the third quarter was over, Marquette University led by 6 points, which was slightly higher than the 10-point lead at its maximum. Reduced, but still on top.

Anthony relied on passing the ball to his teammates to break the double-teams of Wang Chong and Wade. However, when faced with Wang Chong's one-on-one defense, the offense was still quite difficult. In most cases, he could only score by forcing his way into the paint. , with Wang Chong's death entanglement on the outside and mid-range, it is difficult to find opportunities to easily shoot without interference.

But he can't hit the basket every time. Although Anthony has the upper hand in strength, Wang Chong's endless entanglement also consumes a lot of physical energy.

This scene shocked the scouts who were originally paying attention to Anthony on the sidelines.

Is Wang Chong's defense so good?

In the first three quarters of the game, Wang Chong's defense against Anthony was textbook level, especially the close-pressing defense, which made Anthony miserable.

In their view, Anthony is a player with NBA-level strength. Although there are still many technical flaws and his body has not fully grown to a mature state, his strength is definitely at the top level in the NCAA, far ahead of other major players. Most players.

Wang Chong's defense can actually restrain Anthony?

Who is this guy?
